I agree with you Moe. I'm trying to figure this all out. I haven't mention this to DH but I think it would be nice to get my MIL and grandmother for Xmas a TV they still use an old tv and you can't see anything on that thing.

Morning. I say that without excitement because I am already screwed for the day. SO woke up at 530 this morning and left at 630, and out the door, he woke me up. So now I am wide awake, still battling this cold, and I know that around 10am I will be tired again and it's going to screw up my day horrifically. I lost my appetite yesterday, so now I am on a liquid consumption. I am terribly whiney today.

I am also sick and tired of buying formula. Yesterday was kind of a last straw kind day. I was treated like a criminal at ToysRus for trying to buy formula with the coupons. All legit coupons, but they were fine print and we don't accept those because they are fake and copies, blah blah blah. I finally just said screw it and left. I want to go back and break up all my TRU cards into small amounts and cash them out. I never want to shop there again. I can get a better deal and less hassle at pretty much any other store out there. CVS only takes 1 formula check per purchase now. So that screws up my scenarios horribly. I am kind of just done, plus its not even for me! I however, have 131 of those IPs for $5 off that I traded for most of my gift cards or spent time jumping from one computer to another. I still have 50 left to use. I also have $300 in formula checks to use. I may just have to stock up on the RTF feed stuff from now on. Either way, I spent so much time and money collecting all of these coupons and checks that I don't want them to go to waste. But after this, I might just be done with it all. Finish stocking for the friends who need it and call it quits. I am burnt out.

Wishing all the veterens, and active service members and their families a happy Veteren's day and thanks for serving this country.

Hello ladies. Im day start off good day then I got confused along the way. I did my first deal at CVS but had to drive to another one because they had only 1 similac sensitive rtf. So I went to the other CVS got 4 rtf and 2 nivea men body wash. Check out and the cashier ran my similac check for my total of $23 something instead of $5. I dont know what the manager did but she put $48 on a gift card. I told her it was only suppose to be for the coupons I used but she said no. Long story short I got 4 rtf and nivea for free plus $5 left on the gc and $5 ecb from nivea. Everytime I try to burn ecb I regain them. I honestly think I owe them not them owing me but she insisted she was right. I also got my newspaper for free. This older guy paid for it. He was excited about the Saints vs Falcons game. Thanks. I might go back and get another newspaper or use the $2 on candy. Im addicted to reeses.

I agree with Moe and PP's about shopping and Thanksgiving. I prefer the idea of black Friday being on Friday. One whirlwind day and it's over. I've never Black "Friday" shopped on Thanksgiving.

Every Sunday on the way to church, we stop at the dollar store for papers. My older kids run and get three papers each. This morning they went in and the lady said she only had two papers (they are recognized by now). So they came out with two papers. But my son said that the guy behind him asked for a paper and got one. Annoying to lie to kids just bc they are kids. The limit is three papers a customer. When they run out before we get any, I am OK with it. It's just annoying.

My DH will be watching football in a minute. Is it bad that Ike stalling LO's nap so that she goes down when DH goes up to watch football? The couch is calling my name. Nap time!

I just woke up from my nap. It's 2pm. This is going to be a long day. I screw up my schedule so horribly when I wake up too early. Isn't that sad? I think I am just lazy personally. I haven't had to chance to chill out all week, so this is my chance, and I am itching to go shopping again, even though the last experience was horrifying.

I desperately need to use up my Enfamil coupons. But I am so tired of buying formula.
